Layaway Information

Layaway Policies

We offer a layaway plan on select products so you may pay for your order over a period of 60 days. Products that are eligible for layaway will show "Layaway Available: Yes" on the product page.

Here's how it works:

The total amount of the order excluding shipping, tax, or fees is divided into three (3) equal payments. The first payment is due with the order, the second payment is due 30 days later, and the final payment is due 60 days after the order.

There is a $15 non-refundable fee for layaway orders. This fee is added to the first payment along with the shipping and any tax. The first payment is made when the order is placed.

Example: Your order total is $300 plus $12.75 shipping and handling. If you select the layaway option, your payments would be:

  • $127.75 (1/3 of purchase = $100 + $15 layaway fee + $12.75 shipping)
  • $100.00 (1/3 of purchase = $100)
  • $100.00 (1/3 of purchase = $100)

If your initial payment is made by credit card, we will automatically process the 2nd and 3rd payments at the appropriate time using the same credit card information. You will be reminded via email that a payment will be charged. If you need to change this for any reason, please contact us.

For payments made other than credit card, payment must be received within seven (7) days of the due date or the order is subject to cancellation. You will receive a reminder via email that a payment is due.

If you wish to complete payment early and have your order shipped, you may contact us at any time during the 60 day period. There is no penalty for prepayment.

Additional products may be added to a layaway order without penalty. A new payment schedule will be calculated based on when additional products are added.

If you wish to complete payment early and have your order shipped, you may contact us at any time during the 60 day period. There is no penalty for early payment.

Cancellations of layaway orders are subject to a restocking/processing fee of 10% of the order total (not including tax and shipping costs). This restocking fee is in addition to the $15 non-refundable layaway fee.

Overview

The Mini Slim Pickins is the second in-house design to come from Alliance Designs. When they first set out to create the original Slim Pickins in 2018, the goal was to build a beautiful, well-made and functional folding knife that was also satisfying to fidget with. It was a hit, melding a utilitarian and effective design with a unique style that many gravitated toward.

We believe that this latest version still checks all those same boxes, with an added dash of innovation. The Mini will come with lightening pockets on the inside of the handles for weight reduction and an auxiliary detent that holds the blade in the closed position even while the button lock is depressed. This not only improves the action but also reduces the chance of accidental deployment.

The blade still features a deep hollow grind, but this time Alliance went with Elmax for its impressive durability, high compressive strength, and superior corrosion resistance. The Mini Slim Pickins is perfectly sized for everyday carry with a stout build and excellent ergonomics. The bolstered Micarta Edition is paired with two handsomely contoured scales of OD green Micarta and solid bronze pivot collars.
